According to statistics, approximately 15 million people in the United States of America suffers from social anxiety. Even though you do not believe that you have the same condition, this article is still worth a read if you experience problems when invited into a party and not knowing anyone there. Please read on in order to get yourself acquainted to the ways of starting a conversation with anyone.

How to Kindle the Fire of Conversation

1. MAKE EYE CONTACT

As a person who is not used to a lot of speaking and socializing, it can really feel strange on your part when somebody suddenly talks to you in the middle of the crowd. Sometimes, making an eye contact with that person can help you ease the uncomfortable feeling that you have inside. Eye contact is actually a means of asking permission from another person to say something. If that person also maintains eye contact, then show a smile. If you can see that the other person also tries to smile again, then that will be really great. There are instances where you can determine by this means if the person that you are trying to speak to has something else to do. One instance where you can figure out that the person is not ready to converse with you is when he is scrolling through an app on the phone. The same thing with persons who are reading books or wearing a headset.

2. CRACK SOME JOKES

If you and someone else seems not to feel at ease starting a conversation, cracking a joke is one way to break the silence. If you know of some sensible joke in there, you can crack it down with someone with whom you want to begin a conversation.

3. BE READY TO SAY YOUR COMPLIMENTS

Compliments are not to be taken for granted. If there is one person with whom you want to begin a conversation, you should not try to be so serious. By saying some compliments, you can break the pressure. More often than not, sincere compliments fulfill the work.

Conversation for some people is hard to start. But with some cues and hints, you an potentially fight the pressure. Always remember, eye contact, jokes and compliments do work with conversations.
